1. In our country's current state, businesses are looking for highly educated and highly trained professionals to include into their work force. If you drop out, you immediately are sunk to a company's black list. Even if you do get your GED, businesses will still frown upon you. All joking aside, getting a high school diploma is a dramatic step in having a successful future.
2. Accomplishing any challenge in life leaves you feeling better after the matter. Finishing high school may give you that extra push to go on and proceed with your education in college or at a trade school.
3. Many businesses don't take applicants who haven't or didn't finish high school. Even if you are one of the lucky ones to get selected to work at a Burger King or McDonald's, you will not be treated as an equal. You will probably only make minimum wage, and when a promotion is available they will cross right over your name.
4. Many students don't realize this, but you learn more than just the basic subjects in school. Great teachers teach you life lessons. Lessons that down the road will help you overcome life challenges.
5. High school is for you. It is there to help you develop as not only a student, but also as a productive member of the society that surrounds you. In high school you learn to be involved with things outside of your comfort zone. You learn to work with people you would have instead not even given the time of day in the real world, and as you begin to learn more about these people you realize how they are special in their own way. As you start to see this, you too learn to see yourself as an individual. The relationships you make in high school will affect every aspect of your life from now on. Why drop out, get a job, and start a family? Finish your education, find a promising job, and benefit yourself as a human being. It's your life, and you only get one. So why not make it count?
